Agreed, it’s pretty great. And while the computer sometimes misunderstands what you swipe, it will show you potential alternatives you can tap on. Like in this screenshot:
I’m a systems librarian in an academic library. I moved over the Lemmy after Rexxit 2023. I’ve had an account on sdf.org since 2009 (under a different username), and so I chose this instance out of a sense of nostalgia. I do all sorts of fiber arts (knitting, cross stitch, sewing) and love dogs.

How many X are in XTX?
I wish they would. It might mean fewer fire alarms tripped by vapes. (I work in a college library and it’s not funny have to evacuate the building just because someone decided to vape in a study room.)
It’s things like this that keep me using an ad blocker. I was researching when sunflowers develop their seeds, for crying out loud. Edit: this was on Opera. It’s… fine.
Yep, part of evaluating a work is knowing whose work it is. I’ll read a paper on, say, lung cancer by SirTobaccoLobbyist differently than one by DrCancerResearcher. If I don’t know whose work it is, it’s very hard to contextualize.
They have butter for their hot cakes. Sounds like it was adding butter packets to the order.
I wonder how much of the rise in reported latex allergies is the prevalence of tire bits in the environment. Iirc, some of the rise is from increased awareness and some is it attributed to increased latex glove usage in medical settings due to the AIDS epidemic. But are tires also a relevant factor?
(Am latex sensitive, have never used latex gloves even in an educational setting because my high school chem teacher was allergic so we had nitrile in the lab)
This comment made my Internet today. 🏆
I’m still technically a mod for a small subreddit. I polled the users, they weren’t interested in moving over to Lemmy.
(Edit because prematurely posted)
I’m still hoping they’ll move over, but tbh it’s a good bunch of posters on a niche subject and the mod team has never had to be too active. The topic had a been literally unmodded for years before the current mod team fell into it, so I’m confident we’re not needed.
We’re literally just a placeholder to keep someone power mad from becoming mod. (Long story long: founding mod abandoned sub, came back after years, was mad the subreddit didn’t agree with his crap opinions, made the sub private, I and a few other posters made a new subreddit.)
Did you know nano supports syntax highlighting? For some reason it wasn’t enabled by default on my first few linuxes. I don’t know if it is nowadays.
Around here, bags of food for delivery are sealed up tighter than Ft. Knox (figuratively). Tape, staples, plastic bag around the outside tied up in knots you have to cut to get through. Plus, food deliverer germs are no worse than food preparer germs. I have enough innate germaphobe in me that I actively refuse to worry about my food being tampered with in ways I won’t notice. If I did that, I’d never eat any food I didn’t prepare myself, from ingredients that came in their own wrapper (banana, cantaloupe, live mussels).
I get food through doordash because I can’t be arsed to pick up my own food on a lazy weekend. I’m also on the edge of nowhere, so I tip well. (This is a rare treat, not my primary means of feeding myself.)
Airbnb has never had appeal for me. I like the clear expectations of a standard hotel room.
Dog, but yes. My human furry moved out ages ago and was generally very tidy, although he did have a tendency to shed.
I can sympathize. I love my furry roommate but sometimes he leaves messes around and steals my spot on the couch when I grab a glass of water.
Yeah. I put a bug in my subreddit’s users ear and made a community over here. That’s about all I feel I ought to do. The subreddit had to move subreddits 4 years ago due to a bad moderator and it would be a bad look to push a move after the poll I made said most wanted to stay.
They’ll be fine without me (there’s 2 other mods, and honestly I at least do minimal modding. I marked something as a spoiler last month. Jazzhands.)
My home instance, Lemmy.sdf.org, is full of geeky/retro communities that tickle my fancy. I like setting my view to “local” to see what pops up locally, even in communities I’m not a member of.
I’m also a member of feddit.uk, which focuses on UK stuff. That’s handy for folks in the UK because it’s easier to find locally-relevant stuff.
I’m a contributer! I’ve posted cute puppy pics, a frog I saw, and an example of chatGPT cleaning up OCR text.
I’ve taught multiple college students how to copy and paste.
I’m out of the loop. Could someone please explain like I’m a 5 year old that knows just enough Linux to be dangerous?
